There was no dead hand. Asked in Le Parisien about the inflection to the right that the composition of the new government led by Jean Castex, who has just left LR, shows through, Christian Jacob judges that "these ministers are first of all opportunists".

"What connection does Darmanin have with the right?" It is a member on the march, ”retorts the boss of the Republicans about the Minister of the Interior, former lieutenant of Nicolas Sarkozy who joined Emmanuel Macron in 2017 and Minister of Public Accounts in the previous government. "If I were the president, I would be wary of it, because the Minister of the Interior has the genes of betrayal!" The president went to get a personality or two who needed recognition, that's all. "

Reshuffle: "I fear that all that looks like a farce of which the French would be the turkeys", judge Guillaume Peltier. "Emmanuel Macron's record is very damaged", continues the Vice-President of the Republicans

Guillaume Peltier, number two of the Republicans, also evades the question of a siphoning of the right by Emmanuel Macron. "If politics boils down to spectacle, cynicism, a simple tactic and individual poaching strategies, what is sad about politics, and this is what Emmanuel Macron is leading"? he commented on Franceinfo.

Roselyne Bachelot also concerned

Besides Gérald Darmanin, the former minister of Jacques Chirac Roselyne Bachelot is making a comeback in politics by taking the reins of the Ministry of Culture.

On the left, the boss of the PS Olivier Faure anticipates, still in the columns of the Parisian , "a policy more than ever oriented to the right and a president who concentrates more than ever all the powers".
